If it's the former, yes, but we're talking waaaaaay back to my high school days (the 80's) of which I have very little recollection of anymore - except for one good buddy back then - Alan B. from Seminole (not sure if he's still in the area though - I thought I heard he was). Don't really know any current punkers tho. I may be too old!!  |
I'm about a generation or half a generation younger, went to high school in the 90's. Our shows gravitated around Joe Mochas / the Refuge in St. Pete and State Theatre mostly, Junction Pizza here and there, etc. There were a few bands from Seminole, like the Scams, etc, who I'm still friends with now. Don't think I know an Alan B though

I know there was one Tampa webmaster gathering. Met up for dinner at the Hard Rock, played some poker in the casino and then went to Club Hedo in ybor. Kiwi Girl was there, Dirty D and crew, the Camz guys drove up from the other coast, Twinkley / Danielle and her man friend, Matt O, and that's all I can recall at the moment.
Jay also brought Cybernet Expo to Tampa one year, I think we did it at the double tree. I was happy with it, but naturally I am biased. Jay, if you read this, ever thinking about coming back to Tampa?
